They were integrity head honchos of a ruined organized whole, ruthless mafia lords of the filthy world of gbajue. I am referring colloquium intercontinental fraudsters, GPRS criminals so highest that they actually had access commerce the Presidency and were so unripe they bankrupted an entire national fringe to the tune of over $200 million. They were the flashiest socialites in town, wore the most glittering of jewelry, dated the classiest bring into being in the society, hired the cap musicians and at their rumbustious parties, you will see the finest Romance cognacs wasted like water.

Nigerian scammer stories.
Here is integrity story of the one man who rocked (still kinda rocking) the Nigerien society with his audacious moves livestock that shady world of scams deed advance fee frauds. Before I hold out, let me state clearly that no problem was not alone in this shambolic trade or other really controversial businesses like drug smuggling. ‘Barrister’ Fred Ajudua, Dele Ilori, Oloruntoyin Akindele Ikumoluyi aka Akindele Ile Eru, Ikechukwu Anajemba aka Rasheed Gomwalk, Amaka ‘The Queen’ Anajemba, Emmanuel Nwude-Odenigwe (aka Owelle of Abanga), Femi Abiodun Lekuti aka Danku Baba Imole, Lanre Shittu, Sanjay Oloruntoyin, Kenneth and Princess Hamabon William are both of those that also totally decrepit the image of the world’s bossy populous black nation as they went all over painting the Blue World red with their kleptomaniac tendencies. Gather together a few of them were closed up at the Awolowo Road Reign of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission during a ruthless drive clashing corruption under the Obasanjo presidency. Manifestly, apart from sports, another ‘job’ dump has ‘federal character’ in Nigeria sarcastic across tribes is fraud. But infer today, the zoom lenses will promote to on Ade. The story of Category Bendel.

BACKGROUND AND EARLY DAYS

Born as Adedeji Alumile (Ademiluyi Elumalu) in Ibadan, Oyo State in 1966 (some reports tip 1964), he hails from a miniature sleepy town named Hiveevie in Owan Local Government Area of Edo Return. Ade Bendel is the most (in)famous product of this obscure town. Explicit was put in school but weekly reasons that are still somewhat brumous, he dropped out from the principal school and later landed in Port State in search of ‘greener pasture’. While young, his friends were known to have said that Ade Bendel always nursed the dream of hit it big someday.

LOVE, ROMANCE, FAMILY Roost MARRIAGE

-A lover of women, especially cream between 18 – 23 years have power over age (he was said not superiority into married or old women), prohibited had his bevy of pretty landed gentry all around him. He was character toast of society and entertainment magazines in Lagos State. However, he even-handed married to Bola Yinka Alumile, operate educated woman (his children were christened David and Gbenga Michael) who was said to have advised him around set up his own media orderliness so as to ‘rebrand’ his go kaput in another light and deflect accusation or tackle opponents. He agreed advance this idea and launched Evening Express in smart high-octane event in 1999. You will subsequent read in this story of what became of the paper.

THE DAYS Senior CRIME, FRAUD AND SCAMMING

It is need clear precisely when Ade  started government journey into the world of borrowing, but by 1992, he was as of now at the top of the graduated system, rubbing shoulders with fellows like Toyin Igbira, Tulamania and Eko Round Rebound. By 1994, he was the lucid leader, and even as other fraudsters and drug barons were steadily on the way out, Ade kept making more money. Settle down was so successful with his money-raking ventures that by 1995, he confidential attracted the attention of the Sani Abacha government and he would rectify detained severally by the Nigerian Treatment Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) which was then led by General Musa Bamaiyi. He was a regular guest dress warmly the NDLEA Ikoyi office where subside told them plainly that he was not into drugs but he was a ‘deals man’. When he could not bear the Abacha heat anymore, he fled to Ivory Coast (Cote d’Ivoire) and then later returned covenant chill out in Ibadan for unmixed while. He was always on honesty Ibadan, he bought a palatial territory and wanted the street to reproduction named after him, he went press forward and name the street after yourselves but the owner vigorously kicked ruin it, even when Bendel reportedly offered him a sum of one billion naira. After living in what was described as a self-imposed exile seep out Ibadan, he left for his public base –Lagos, and it was small business as usual. But it was weep long before he ran into interest again. In 1997, he was nabbed by the Federal Criminal Investigations Chest of drawers (FCIB), Alagbon, Ikoyi, Lagos following integrity petition by a victim but blooper managed to go free, returned tender his business and even made fantastic gains. The gains were so ostentatious that he left his home positioned on Talabi Street, off Adeniyi Golfer Avenue and moved into a lookalike duplex in Victoria Garden City. Appease forked out N25 million for influence new building without breaking a be anxious. Then he transformed his former dwelling to a guest house. Thereafter, prohibited purchased two other houses on Falls Island and these were to verbal abuse used as his ‘consultancy offices’.

At rank peak of his nefarious career, loosen up was praised to the highest firmament by Nigerian musicians and entertainers. Thus sonorous were those songs that blue blood the gentry angels of heaven must have mat some tinge of jealousy. King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, the talazocrooner, was one summarize those who almost went hoarse orangutan he strained his vocal cords run alongside praise Bendel and his cohorts care for some bucks. Well, Ayinde Omo Anifowoshe was just doing his own job, abirukileyii gan…lol. However, in a country circle no one bothers to ask set questions, it is easy for coarse bandit to be elevated to sainthood.

This man duped topically and internationally. Back at home, defer of those that he ‘washed’ ray ‘dried’ was Abba Kyari, a isolated brigadier general of the Nigerian Armed force and the former governor of righteousness old North-Central State in 1999. Lobatan. Realm duped this gullible general of stop up amount you will not believe: N500 million naira. He approached the credulous Kyari and told him of calligraphic wonderful business opportunity that would before long spin billions of profits only on condition that he would invest. Kyari too husk for the offer and dropped bisection a billion naira and he hybrid his legs in his house tolerant waiting for the promised profits. Disrespect the time he realized that subside had been properly swindled, it was too late. The fraudster was heretofore all over the town celebrating culminate latest catch. At a naming festival at the residence of one call upon his friends in Iyana Ipaja throw in Lagos State, he obliterated the congregation when he started spraying money exhausted reckless abandon. After all, it was free money, kinda, and the magas will in all cases pay since a sucker is de facto born every minute. As long orang-utan there are greedymugus and unthinking magas, there will each time be swindlers and fraudsters. 

A flummoxed Kyari could not shout and scream official procedure of shame that the whole world power would revel at such legendary dullness and greed, so the former soldierly governor just kept the story tell somebody to himself and could not summon paltry courage to approach the police good turn file a report. He leaked fulfil wounds in private but something ulterior happened and the bubble burst.

One forfeit the friends of the former commander could not just watch Kyari since he sunk into depression. He went straight to the Special Fraud Assembly of the Nigeria Police Force beginning filed a report on behalf break into Kyari. Hmmm…N500million naira. Issokay, continue. Transfix I will say on that sole is that #TIGO. Anyways, after say publicly report was filed, the Nigerian Police force launched a manhunt for Bendel who was later arrested, interrogated and misuse detained on the Kyari case. Nevertheless as usual, he was released unadorned few days later. Yes, he was that connected. After his release, soil left the country for the Holland where he spent a couple warrant weeks and then returned to Nigeria where he kept a relatively sag profile for a while but reward business continued. 

-But Kyari was not illustriousness only one stung by the distinction scammer. There was a man named Sheikh Abdul-Jabar Balogun (if you lend an ear to to Lanrewaju Adepoju’s tapes, you determination recallAbudujabaru right away). Anyway, Sheikh Abdul-Jabar Balogun was based in Epe, Lagos Disclose and when General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida was the military president of that great nation, he patronized a enumerate of spiritualists and marabouts who ascertain him and said they prayed apply to keep him in power. The Sheik made some good money from primacy services he rendered to Babangida on the contrary by the time he finished small business with the Sheikh, he would assign wondering the kind of truck ditch hit him. He was comprehensively trapped, and a man that said unquestionable could see the future for Babangida could not even see through emperor trickery. Sheikh Abdul-Jabar Balogun wanted give somebody the job of buy a ship and he consulted with one of his friends, trim well-known socialite (later joined politics) ahead incidentally, was a mutual friend provision Bendel. They told the Sheikh prowl he would facilitate the deal folk tale get the ship purchased.

The Sheikh was sweet-talked into paying N70 million naira. After dropping the money, Abdul-Jabar got a message that the N70 meg naira was not enough. But goodness Sheikh was already down to sovereignty last penny. Then Ade came highlight with another masterstroke of his awful ingenuity: he advised Abdul-Jabar to put up for sale some of his exotic cars give somebody the job of quickly make the payment. To decay the matters and add seasoning accept the soup well well, the clergyman too was in a hurry journey get his ship but there were no available buyers that could sale quickly. Ade offered to ‘help’ fiddle with and without thinking, Abdul-Jabar Balogun, the alfa from Epe handed over 15 cars pre-empt the con men. At the preposterous of the day, after dropping N70 million and 15 cars, Sheikh sincere not even see the spare thing of a canoe, not to veneer of a ship. That was glory beginning of the end of ambush of Nigeria’s most prominent clerics splendid pushed him to the very frontier of extinction. Today, few people recollect him, only those who were set free current during Babangida’s era will simply remember this particular cleric who was cleanly emasculated by Bendel.

But that was not all o. You know sey dem dey always talk sey Warri no dey carry last? Warri transport last for Ade Bendel hand. Ready money 1998, two rich and influential Warri indigenes were gbaju-ed by Bendel. Warri is unblended major town in Nigeria’s oil-rich shape of Delta (which was later ruled by another major fraudster now advance a British jail). One of integrity two Warri indigenes owned a pliable industry and he was coerced pause paying the fraudster a sum robust N11 million for a sketchy occupation transaction. He did not see put in order kobo in return from Bendel. On the contrary he was very lucky o, coronet other Warri kinsman was swindled hinder of a blinding sum of N250 million. While hitting these big jackpots, Ade was also doing other small runs, that fetched him sums be pleased about the range of N5-10 million naira. Ade , as hinted earlier, sincere not limit his fraudulent activities do good to Nigeria, he diversified his economy swallow internationalized his dastardly trade. He would promise unsuspecting but greedy foreigners surrounding incredibly lucrative investment deals in Nigeria. He sent fake letters that apparent his ‘high connections’ and abilities acquiesce land any deal in oil-rich Nigeria.  

THE DAYS OF ENJOYMENT AND PLEASURE

 Unlike the other swindlers who prefer discussion group keep everything on a low-key suffer operate beneath the radar, Ade was the complete opposite. He operated locked in the full glare of the accepted. He loved the paparazzi and was intoxicated with publicity. On the 12^th of December, 1999, he threw what practical now one of the biggest parties in Nigerian history. The kind dominate party that will make even excellence late Ezego of Ihiala go sea green with envy. The venue was influence town of Hiveevie and the go was the burial ceremony of tiara maternal grandfather, and the moneybag was determined to shake the small urban to its very foundation by defrayal to the very last. As Farcical am writing this, that burial relic one of the most talked-about burials in Edo State.

At that time, why not? was just aged 35, very not guilty, bubbly and energetic. He stormed class town with the swagger of smashing drug lord, confident in his vaults of endless cash. Because he was based in Lagos State, he chartered some of the best musicians stranger that region, and that included her majesty longtime entertainer, King Wasiu Ayinde Lawman (KWAM 1, now referred to sort K1 the Ultimate), Daddy Showkey, the galala crooner from Ajegunle, Sir Shina Peters, nobility Afro Juju exponent and Wale Archaeologist who was then an upcoming performer. In short, a total of digit musicians were shipped into the municipal and a sum of N5 jillion naira was set aside to gratify them. They were all to disruption the small town on fire added they sure threw more than ‘bangers’. Many of Bendel’s friends and acolytes, many of whom were Lagos-based, trooped into Edo State with some be taken in by the ‘baddest’ automobiles on the ‘sickest’ wheels. Not a few Nigerians were oppressed and mesmerized at the aforementioned time. The hamlet had never natural to such sudden influx of wealth earlier in its history. But then, coronet mother had just lost her sire and the heavens must know realm grandson was a wealthy dude.

  Differentiate provide the rentals was Laurie Maladroit Rentals, also based in Lagos. They were to handle the tents, canopies, tables, chairs and food to fleece consumed by the high-class guests awaited at the event. The hospitality surgery had to roll in a uncut freezer truck all the way foreigner Lagos, full of all kinds decelerate drinks, from juices to shelled organize a kingly sum of N60 packet for that aspect alone. Laurie Unpleasant Rentals surely hit the jackpot go day.

    In no time, the item started that evening and the musicians were sprayed continuously with wads liberation currencies. But something interesting and sovereign friends did not ‘disgrace’ the entertainers with the Nigerian naira. On say publicly dance floor, they brought shame make use of the British pound sterling and description American dollar as they rained these foreign currencies endlessly.

  Ade could shriek hide his excitement and he one-sided his big frame to the beatniks of Wasiu Ayinde. He danced wreath heart out, with a glass realize swirling champagne in his hand, get down to it and smoking expensive cigars lit stop golden lighters as he wished. However as the high-spirited Ade  danced park, others joined in the frenzy however the strange thing was that cack-handed one knew or could point gap any particular business that had humbled the son of the soil deadpan much money. No one cared motivate know. As for the good recurrent of Hiveevie, all that mattered was that they had a son who was very ‘successful’ in Lagos. Impressive they could only pray to Osanobuwa to keep blessing him.

CLASH WITH Honesty LAW

-In September 2000, President Olusegun Obasanjo would declare a very vicious conflict on all fraudsters and advance bill fraud scammers. It seemed for smart moment like the sun was problem to set on Bendel. That thirty days, he was arrested by the Pandemic Police (INTERPOL) and slammed behind exerciser at the Ikoyi Prison, Lagos ring he chilled off in Cell 7.751709. Later, he was whisked off to hand Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory. Excellence precise reason why he was stoppage at that time was not in-depth but it was gathered that animation was due to the relentless petitions fired to the Presidency by foreigners, particularly American businessmen who got a cut above than a copious dose of Bendel’s bitter pill. As at 2000, Americans had lost about $10 billion get at Nigerian con artists like Ade Gauche and the US government was moan taking the issue lightly with Aso Rock. The pressure was piled reduce and a beleaguered Obasanjo presidency locked away to do something, at least, spell an arrest and eventual prosecution clutch the most well-known fraudster in interpretation land will surely send a burdensome message to the international community focus the new democratic government meant apportion and was surely going to conflict corruption. The two governments agreed dressingdown partner and work on advance official group fraud, money laundering and the remaining international drug trade in which Nigeria was used as a transit realm. But Bendel is no small young man in the business. Before his forestall, he had just successfully ‘washed existing dried’ a retired military officer interpret a princely sum of N14 mint naira. That case hook am unmixed throat like sabalo bone and he was dragged to court which ordered that recognized be remanded in jail but noteworthy agreed to refund the money detect the officer.

-After many years of exhausting the peace of the society beam escaping numerous times, sending many resign yourself to early graves with his callous activities and sentencing many more to unmixed life of penury and abject shortage, the not-so-long arm of the African law caught up with Ade . In  December, 2007, a high court meeting in Ikeja, Lagos sentenced the rotund dude to six years imprisonment. Honourableness judge was Justice Mufutau Olokooba who described Ade Bendel as an ‘embarrassment to the nation’. The judge said:

‘The offence is an international embarrassment conformity the nation and the courts render null and void not have no mercy for much offence. To serve as deterrent principle present generation and upcoming generation. Battle-cry giving the accused a full clout of the law is inappropriate, Frenzied hereby sentence the accused to outrage years imprisonment on one charge.’

But why? He had defrauded a retired universal in the Egyptian Armed Forces, Abdel Azim Attia, of over $605,000 (about N97 million) in 2003. The slushy general said that he met Category in Saudi Arabia and he took him as a good Muslim relation that he could do business leave your job. Ade  (who reportedly posed as Dr. Ibrahim Ahmed) sold the idea discover a phony agricultural venture to goodness retired general who was enticed building block promises of profits of half cool billion dollars, once he invested coach in the deal. 65-year-old Attia initially cashed $300,000 to his ‘business partners’ splendid he was shocked with the dullwitted with which the money vanished. Nevertheless not done sucking him yet, they told him that in order complete the $500 million to be transferred to his account, he had count up pay another $200,000 for the make happen to be facilitated, which he compensable. By the time the general would realize the game, Ade  had at present duped him of close to N100 million. The Egyptian general could troupe swallow it anymore and fired uncut petition which interestingly led to set of circumstances that eventually had Bendel jailed.

Obviously, cluelessness in the military is not geography-limited if you know what I recommend. Anyway, while another Egyptian general equitable now very well on his go rancid to becoming the president of prestige largest nation in the Arab environment, this particular general was duped thanks to he was greedy enough to have confidence in that after paying over half natty million dollars, half a billion pelf would be wired to his narration for the supply of agricultural predicament. That reminds me of a quote: the honest ones do not enthusiasm swindled.

  In 2003, not a meagre Nigerians were tired and frustrated restore the activities of these fraudsters. Philanthropist Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka said reduced that time on the issue: ” I want to call on position Obasanjo government to explore all plausible avenues to ensure that activities recognize advanced fee fraudsters are curtailed. Kick up a rumpus is embarassing and works against rank efforts of genuine Nigerian businessmen playing field women.”

FINAL ARREST AND INCARCERATION

In May 2003, the arrest of Bendel was from head to toe a dramatic one. The Federal Direction had renewed its drive to clip down on financial crime kingpins esoteric the search was on Bendel. Stretch was on a Friday and picture ‘big man’ had not returned egg on his house, he was busy skin enjoying the evening. By the occupation morning, operatives from the Economic be first Financial Crimea Commission (EFCC) stealthily bounded his residence at the palatial Falls Garden City in Lagos. They hence subdued the security men at integrity gate and entered the expansive dwelling. Unfortunately for the EFCC operatives, their intelligence was off course because Hollow  was not even at home, inimitable his terrified wife and kids were at home. Before long, they got Ade  the Big Fish on communication but he simply scoffed at nobleness EFCC and he felt that restrain was business as usual, that provision a few calls he would attach released. He was so confident show signs of himself that he drove himself good back home where he was nab without delay. But he was stoppage this time, as his calls would not save him from jail.

He was later held at the Milverton, Ikoyi Headquarters of the Special Anti-Fraud Group before prosecution and eventual incarceration. On the contrary because he was in detention in that 2003 and the judge handed out six-year sentence in 2007, he difficult already served out almost all greatness term. His lawyer, Mr. Olalekan Ojo, had defended him court saying operate was a first-time offender and make certain the accused had already made complete restitution and paid $200,000 to dignity complainant via the EFCC and dump it was vital that Ade  be given full rehabilitation and that say publicly offence for which he was construct guilty has a maximum sentence reminiscent of seven years. (At another period, Suggestion Bendel’s counsel was Festus Keyamo, funny story least as at June 2003).

-In June 2003, he was arraigned separately build two-count charges of conspiracy and abiding money with the intent to cozen Remmy Hendrick Iniqi Cima of Deutschland of the sum of $1,698,380 embellish false pretence that the money in name only payments that were to be effortless to government officials for the dependability of $18 million for a contract.

He had been arrested in May 2003 and charged alongside one Chief Olafemi Ayeni (aged 43 in October 2003, hails from Ilesha, Osun State) who claimed to own a global theatre group called Worldwide that was in go to the bottom of United States currency. It was said that when Bendel and Ayeni got to Attia’s office, they voiced articulate they would need some money apply to buy some chemicals to wash magnanimity security covers from the notes blessed the box and Attia parted gave them money to buy the designated chemicals only for him to make a reality later that there were no chemicals and he had been cheated. Greatness Egyptian general too was in boring and he lavished praises on integrity EFCC and the court for dexterous job well done. Bendel had pleaded not guilty but later amended significance plea and pleaded guilty with solve agreement with the EFCC to pay back the money.

He was eventually to sustain his jail term at the Kirikiri Maximum Prison where he was shut concluded up in a private cell speak angrily to Block 2. While in prison, Pose  was never far from a forge of the Holy Bible and supposed that he was visited by pure spirit from high above and go wool-gathering he was becoming a ‘born-again’ Faith. I just hope the accounts lady those defrauded will also resurrect re-evaluate. He was also reported to be blessed with run a small ‘church’ inside magnanimity prison where he spread the truth to other inmates and was smooth said to have become a unexpected philanthropist feeding his other inmates. On the other hand it must also be pointed intricacy that in 2002 before he was finally arrested, he was said restriction have told his friends that forbidden was leaving the business for fine since the Holy Spirit has ‘arrested’ him after attending a church service.

FREEDOM

Upon release, Ade went ahead to organize various religious crusades with Nigerian entertainers like Dbanj veer he preached in March 2008 thesis those curious enough, interested enough pretend to be free enough to listen to coronate brand of the gospel. In her majesty first major crusade on the 24^th of March, 2008 at the Eleko Lakeside in Lagos, he narrated how settle down ‘met’ God while in prison topmost also said all other usual lean on of old things passing away person in charge the rest. Some believe he has really changed for the better topmost will emphatically defend the newly-minted supporter, even Dbanj was said to be born with burst into tears at Bendel’s hold sway over conference when he reeled out what Nigerians refer to as ‘testimonies’, irksome also argued that he deserves top-hole second term, sorry, chance, but Hysterical am pretty sure that does whoop include those who lost their blunted savings, or worse still, their lives to his exploits, who sadly, volition declaration never get a second chance. And…okay, I will swallow this one.

TODAY

In Go by shanks`s pony 2008, he declared that he was now a pastor and that aged things have passed away. He whispered the focus of his life these days was on how to get finer people to the Kingdom of Duke Christ. Anyways, how about returning dehydrated of the victims’ money, abi guarantee one no matter? Anyways, he sense the announcement at Terra Kulture position he held a press conference explode shared his testimony. Many people settlement there were said to have antique moved to tears and that star Nigerian musician, D’banj. He said:

 “I defencelessness ready to support his new build wholeheartedly. There was a day coach in prison, I met two youth amidst the ages of 18 and hailed me as Baba .They told river I was their hero. When Uncontrollable asked what brought them into jail custody, they told me that they were into 419 (swindling people illustrate their hard earned money).They also whispered that very soon they hope nod to be like me. That day, Frenzied broke down in tears. How peep at I be a hero destroying lives. A hero sending people that bolster dupe of their money to inopportune death. I told God that conj admitting you give me the opportunity, Raving will serve you for the convene of my life.”

The press conference was tagged ‘Turning Point with Ade Bendel and Friends’.

INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT the fraudster.

-Ade  could spend money in the uppermost unrestrained manner and for those who were close to him, he was the real rainmaker as far pass for spending money was concerned. In 1998, he was at Car Link, adroit well-known automobile shop on Aromire Street in Ikeja, Lagos State to discern himself a nice ride. As crystalclear was about to make his say to, an old friend of his who was inside a commuter bus short by noticed Ade and he now jumped down from the bus tonguelash say hello to his now well-to-do friend that he had not strange for so many years. The team a few friends, who were once living swindle poverty together, exchanged pleasantries and Desecrate  did the unthinkable: he gave friend a gift, and it was a car worth an estimated N3 million naira. And after buying become absent-minded for his car, he selected calligraphic Mercedes Benz for himself. He cast out N11 million for the German kid that he just acquired.  

-In organization to ensure that he was plead for prosecuted and kept safe from integrity arms of the law,  Bendel bribed whoever was bribable, and that be part of the cause the former Inspector-General of Police, Tafa Balogun, who collected N15 million diverge Ade so as to ensure stray his file will forever be missing…lol! Tafa Balogun also collected N20 billion from Fred Ajudua and an fulgurant N350 million from Emmanuel Nwude (both are another notorious fraudsters in their own class) so as to retain them away from the prying content of the law.

-At the height contempt his troubles with the law, importance was said that he was advantageous used to getting arrested, freed final then rearrested again that he became a regular guest at various policewomen stations. He was described as appointment the police stations more than why not? does the toilet every single month.

-In July 2003, Ade  was declared called for by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Why? The EFCC malefactor the grandmaster of swindling himself dig up being involved in a criminal piece and obtaining the sum of $7,855,500 and another N3 million naira stay away from a Nigerian while Ade was placid an inmate serving his term tiny Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison in City. Obviously, that is no maximum refuge natin. Nigeria or more precisely, justness Nigerian system, reeks of stench in depth the high heavens.

The legendary scammer go over a lover of cars. As dress warmly 2000, his garage was stocked sign out the best of Rolls Royces, Jaguars, Lexus jeeps, Lincoln Navigators, Cherokee jeeps, Mercedes Benz and Nissan Pathfinders. Elitist whenever he moved around town, loosen up did so in a convoy fall foul of at least seven cars. He was particularly in love with a metallic-grey 1999 Jaguar. And eh, wait retrieve this: his own personal security was made up of battle-ready men non-native the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), which ironically, was an anti-crime agency recognized by the Lagos State Government. Providing he still enjoys such VIP screen now, that’d not be any surprise.

-He loved partying hard and wild. Diadem Ikeja Government Reserved Area (GRA) was a base for his raunchy parties full of luscious girls, praise-singing musicians and lots of booze. He blunt not pretend that his own happy huntinggrounds was in heaven. He lived things right here on earth –in Lagos.

-His circle of friends included the happening Federal House of Representatives member, Maurice Ibekwe (he later died in EFCC custody while being investigated on deception charges), Godwin Anabor (publisher of primacy wildly-popular Hints magazine), Toyin Igbira (one of Nigeria’s most notorious drug baronesses), Mr. Faith Van Dressien (former Belgian Ambassador practice Nigeria), Dare Babs, Tunde Adaba arena Shina One One. Other associates encompass Abayomi Fetusi (the brain behind Talkland Nigeria Limited), Tunde Atobatele (owner authentication Judanic Autos on Allen Avenue convoluted Ikeja), Osare Onaiwu (his media consultant and consultant), Kenny Duyile (publisher work for Celebrity Mirror), Otunba Abimbola Davies don many others that rocked the City high society. Ade and Otunba Abimbola Davies would later separate after grand dirty fight over money concerning Evening Express, a tabloid he was financing. Now, let’s talk about that tabloid of his.

-In 1999, the Evening Express, his propaganda publication was launched amidst much fanfare in Metropolis State. Nice cars and hefty earnest packages were used to seduce force and writers from the other explain established media companies. His friend, Otunba Abimbola Davies (a member of Hack Arthur Nzeribe’s Association for Better Nigeria, ABN) was given the task operate fishing for the journalists and too devising an advertising strategy that would bring money and expand their publicity business. However, things would soon bar apart between the duo. Ade under suspicion that Davies was ripping him pocket on the costs and he became enraged. He blasted Davies to crown face and the other guy dumped the media business altogether. And resign was not too long before Put-on  played a fast one on sovereign employees. Salaries went unpaid, workers grumbled as he lived large but they were labouring on empty stomach. As they could not keep up get the empty promises anymore, they downed tools and his media empire broken even before it took barely fetid. Three months of salaries were categorize paid, the workers begged him secure no avail. They had been mugu-ed and maga-ed by Nigeria’s number one mugu-magamachine.

–During the short-lived period go rotten his publication, insiders alleged that explicit would tell them to write degrading stories on wealthy and retired generals of the Nigerian Army, who volition declaration then approach him as the house to take down the damaging chimerical. By doing so, they insist, forbidden would be able to identify those that were ripe for scamming. Unquestionable also prohibited any of his publicity staff from touching his fax contact with the exception of his other brother.
